Wouldn't it be ideal to earn huge returns in real estate with minimal money down? During the golden days of the past two decades, when interest rates were cheap, that was possible. You could buy almost any asset—not just real estate—and watch it soar, thanks to real negative interest rates (where borrowing costs were lower than inflation). However, those easy money days are over.In today's market, going all-in beats limping in when buying real estate. Join us as we explore why a solid deposit, despite the new CMHC mortgage insurance rules, is more crucial than ever for your property investment success.Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NmA8HDFMNU4Schedule a 15-minute Zoom call with Ken: https://www.broadviewavenue.ca/appointments▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe now to keep updated for more information.If you want to chat with us, do the following:1.

When you have an already densely populated city like Toronto, creating more housing is not an easy thing to do. Constant population growth in Canada (increasing at 3% per year) has caused Toronto, the largest city, to be in an extreme housing crisis. This problem has been brewing steadily for the past two decades already, and likely won't be fixed even if we gave it two more decades to solve it.One of the ways the city has responded to the housing affordability crisis is by introducing the Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods (EHON) program by intensifying existing land. First was the laneway suite, and then came the garden suite. Now we are allowed multiplexes and eliminated single-family zoning, and recently, rooming houses are now allowed. I wanted to talk about the latest evolution, the city allowing small apartment buildings on major streets in Toronto.I couldn't find a better person to talk to than Craig Race, one of the first people to bring laneway suites to reality in Toronto. Join us as we go through the cost benefits of each of these different housing typologies, noting the financial and regulatory challenges involved.Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MYEhckMl37gSchedule a 15-minute Zoom call with Ken: https://www.broadviewavenue.ca/appointments▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe now to keep updated for more information.If you want to chat with us, do the following:1.

Here's my take on the new capital gains inclusion rates in the 2024 Canadian federal budget. As much as I want to talk about the politics of it all, I will hold back.

Stuck with a condo nearing completion and worried about the market? You're not alone. Let's break down your options: close or assign?As we navigate these uncertain times, many are finding their pre-purchased condos aren't appraising at expected values. With the market down, you're faced with two choices.First, you could assign your property, selling your agreement to another buyer before closing. It might seem like an easy out, but with assignments stalling in the current market, finding a buyer willing to take over at a big profit is tough.Alternatively, you could close on the property, taking on monthly losses due to negative cash flow. This is a gamble, betting on the market's eventual recovery. Remember, closing means committing to years of potential financial strain unless the market swings back.The root of this dilemma? A market boom driven by low interest rates during the pandemic, leading to high purchase prices now misaligned with current values. Whatever path you choose, it's a decision weighed heavily by the market's unpredictable nature.Struggling to decide or need more insights?

Condos are great, but their value largely depends on market trends, which we've seen can fluctuate drastically. If rates go up, then suddenly your investment's worth drops 15-20%. With commercial real estate, you have more control. By increasing the property's net income through rent adjustments or renovations, you directly impact its value, no matter the market situation. Let me walk you through an example of a property that you can increase the value by 1.5x almost instantly, just by doing some minor tweaks to increase the net operating income.

Last year alone, over 20,000 new condo units hit the GTA market, the highest in three years, thanks to a surge in pre-construction purchases back in 2018. But when COVID hit, construction faced massive delays, pushing back completion dates. Now, these units are flooding the market, looking for tenants.Despite a federal cap on student visas aiming to slow growth, immigration remains strong, keeping demand up. Yet, with this sudden influx of condos, landlords face tough competition, nudging rental prices down.This dip might seem like a win for renters now, but it's a temporary shift. With nearly 27,000 more units expected in 2024, the rental landscape will continue to evolve. But don't be fooled; the underlying growth in population and a slowdown in new constructions due to high interest rates suggest that this is just a short-term trend. In the long run, expect the market to bounce back, making it a landlord's game once again.Stay ahead of the real estate market.

It's a terrible time to be buying or selling real estate in the Greater Toronto Area. In October 2023, we had 4,646 sales, which is THE WORST number of October sales since 1999, even accounting for the population growth and all the new homes being built. For context, the peak number of sales in the GTA was 15,623 in March 2021. In the 28-year history that we have recorded for TRREB MLS sales, we are 32% below the average of 6,806 homes sold.But still, there's still 4,646 transactions that happened (9,292 people transacting because there's two ends to every deal, a buyer and a seller).So who are the six profiles transacting in real estate right now?Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-LGgLM0hlbsSchedule a 15-minute Zoom call with Ken: https://www.broadviewavenue.ca/appointmentsSubscribe now to keep updated for more information.

There are a lot of office vacancies with the work-from-home generation, and we can't build residential properties fast enough. So wouldn't it make sense to convert under-utilized office towers to residential usage?Municipalities would want it because remote work brings office vacancies, which leads a never-ending cycle of reduced property-tax revenue for cities, fewer amenities as nearby businesses struggle to stay afloat, and more people fleeing downtown areas.Meanwhile demand for residential properties is far too strong, causing a huge run up in prices. Just look at the average rental rate.If the basic economic laws of supply and demand are in still in play, then wouldn't it be logical to repurpose empty office towers into residential condos or rental apartments?Watch this episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/vvKZ1LWb5DASchedule a 15-minute Zoom call with Ken: https://www.broadviewavenue.ca/appointments▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe now to keep updated for more information.If you want to chat with us, do the following:1.

It's easy to say too bad, that's the consequence of being a landlord. But what if you are caught in this situation?Mortgage interest costs have risen at the fastest pace in history, but the rental income isn't rising nearly fast enough to cover the payments. So what do you do if your tenant gave you their notice to move out, and renting it out again will put you in a horrible negative cash flow scenario? Do you take this opportunity to sell, when prices have declined by 15-20% or more, or do you continue to rent it out to a new tenant?Let's talk about how we can navigate through this.Watch this episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/ND9zUhyxfTASchedule a 15-minute Zoom call with Ken: https://www.broadviewavenue.ca/appointments▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe now to keep updated for more information.If you want to chat with us, do the following:1.

Why is there a new landlord tax in Canada? It's not so much the tax, it's the convoluted method of filing for this. Who is "affected" vs "excluded", and what are the "exemptions"? Once you understand this new tax, the terminology will all make sense, but really, why?Yes it's the new 2022 UHT (Underused Housing Tax). The filing deadline already got extended once from April 30, 2023 to October 31, 2023, so up until then everyone was in panic mode trying to file on time to not get these SIGNIFICANT penalties (minimum fine of $10,000 for late filing for corporations). ON THE DAY of the extended filing deadline, they extended it another 6 months to April 30, 2024.Watch this episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/8ugdmW2OpKsSchedule a 15-minute Zoom call with Ken: https://www.broadviewavenue.ca/appointments▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe now to keep updated for more information.If you want to chat with us, do the following:1.

some of the top real estate brokerage brands. The issue is that the current system is anti-competitive, to sellers that want to sell without having to be forced to pay a buyer's agent's commission.This made big headlines over the past year in the States, and it looks like it's coming here.

There's a new project coming to the Durham Region in Ontario, Canada. It's a mixed-use development, in Pickering's city core. This is the best affordable project in the Greater Toronto Area, with one bedroom condos starting in the $500's, at $1,050 per square foot.Normally I would say don't just buy based on what's cheap, but I'm excited about this project because of the value that you get buying into a master-planned community, all created by one developer. Imagine a new city plopped on top of a thriving mall, with 6,000 units anchored by a 180-store mall, with 300,000 sq ft of office space, community centre, a hotel, and parks. All this density will create new employment opportunities, with entertainment for residents not only in the new towers, but in the overall Durham Region itself.Getting to Downtown Toronto is also easy, with a 6-stop GO Train ride that will bring you to Union Station in 40 minutes. It's also right off the Highway 401, and will be a part of a new bus network.Join us as we do a deep dive into the Pickering City Centre development, and discuss whether or not it is a good buy.If you're interested in learning more about this project and how it compares with other opportunities in Toronto, give us a call.Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Lzv5gVBLKVISchedule a 15-minute Zoom call with Ken: https://www.broadviewavenue.ca/appointments▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe now to keep updated for more information.If you want to chat with us, do the following:1.

Toronto has a huge supply and demand issue in the housing market. With the need for strong immigration and with the lack of housing starts, this is going to get even worse in the future. The fundamentals make sense in the long run, but does it make sense to invest in real estate now with the fastest run up in interest rates in history? Is now the time to buy the dip, or are we going to see more pain coming?There's also the struggle for affordability in Toronto. Can the city sustain these massive budget deficits? Will they raise our taxes?Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/EFh9PUrn8mYSchedule a 15-minute Zoom call with Ken: https://www.broadviewavenue.ca/appointments▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe now to keep updated for more information.If you want to chat with us, do the following:1.

Blind bidding, a longstanding practice in Toronto's real estate market, may finally be coming to an end with the new Trust In Real Estate Services Act (TRESA) legislation.A few years ago, the Canadian government announced plans to reform the housing market, including a proposed ban on blind bidding. This controversial practice, where potential buyers submit offers on a property without knowledge of competing bids, has long been criticized for driving up prices and suppressing transparency.With this potential change, buyers in Toronto may finally see a shift towards a more equitable and transparent real estate market. While it remains uncertain when these reforms will come into effect, the possibility of bidding wars becoming a thing of the past brings hope for a fairer and more accessible housing market in the city. At least, for buyers.Could this be the start of a new way of doing business in Ontario?Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/eUBQzt0dnpsSchedule a 15-minute Zoom call with Ken: https://www.broadviewavenue.ca/appointments▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe now to keep updated for more information.If you want to chat with us, do the following:1.
